Hi Bill,

I plugged in 6 3Ux220 boards into the Atlas last night before I left
work.  The board is stiff enough that there was no noticeable flexing
or deflection.  Having the 6 DIN41612 connectors  mounted stiffens the
board up also.  Still, it would not hurt to put two more mounting
holes if I can fit them in there.  I will look at that.
